“The only sight in the silent darkness of Egypt’s Western Desert is that of a hundred hurricane lamps, lined up in the sand like a constellation of stars leading to our room.”

W. Geordie Greig,
“Nomad’s Land, Tatler Magazine, April 2007

Each one of our hand-built 40 rooms is unique, combining distinction and authenticity. Earth buildings blend naturally into the landscape. All the furniture and crafts pay tribute to nature and to talented local artisanship.

With no electricity, the rooms are softly lit with a dozen beeswax candles and the starry desert sky.
